ExecCommand / Process don't work

Description

I cannot get the 'exec' command to do anything useful. It looks like it is trying to run the supplied java class in a new 'Process', but all the process manages to do is throw a ClassNotFoundException for the argument class.

Does anyone recall the 'exec' command having worked? Does it serve any real purpose ... apart from testing the implementation of java.lang.Process?

I suppose that we want Process to work, but what do we want it to actually do?

If I see it correctly ExecCommand was checked about a month earlier than ThreadCommandInvoker. I do not know about ExecCommand, I never used it and I can not see anything usefull in the svn logs. But I guess it was the first way to start a command in a new Thread (e.g. for testing) before the new invoker.
If noone knows what it's really good for and it's not working anyway I would remove it.

The consensus is that ExecCommand does nothing useful, so I'll delete it.
